yoga to oxygenate your body & invite new energy • 30 min class, energizing, chest opening

Check out the description for extra tips & the health benefits of this practice :) This class focuses on improving the oxygen flow in your body and boosting lung capacity, which will result in better and more easeful breathing. We go through a series of chest opening asanas that expand our lungs and stretch our breathing muscles (diaphragm, intercostal muscles, abdominal muscles). On top of that, we're doing two pranayamas and one breathing technique: ○ yogic/ three part breath - strengthens the diaphragm and intercostal muscles; optimizes oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange ○ bhastrika pranayama - increases oxygen flow to the brain, gets rid of brain fog and fatigue, clears nasal blockages, supports lymphatic circulation ○ physiological sigh - opens tiny air sacs in the lungs, maximizing surface area; helps remove CO2 out of the lungs more efficiently. It is also the quickest way to go into parasympathetic mode (resting) IMPORTANT: Make sure to breathe through your nose, not mouth, throughout this entire practice. Thank you so much for practicing with me!
